Impactful Policy Frameworks
PHMSA's Final Rule on Gas Pipeline Safety (2019)
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued a final rule in 2019 expanding safety requirements for onshore gas transmission pipelines, including stricter integrity management, maximum allowable operating pressure validation, and expanded reporting requirements.
This policy necessitates more rigorous data collection, analysis, and enhanced training programs for pipeline operators, directly impacting EWN's PSMS and OQ offerings.
OSHA's Electronic Recordkeeping Rule (2016, with subsequent clarifications)
OSHA's rule requires certain employers to electronically submit injury and illness data that they are already required to record, with some data made publicly available, increasing transparency and accountability.
This rule increases the demand for robust, secure digital record-keeping systems for safety and training, aligning with EWN's records management and dashboard capabilities.
API RP 1173 (Pipeline Safety Management Systems) (2015, updated 2021)
While not a direct regulation, API RP 1173 provides guidance for developing and implementing Pipeline Safety Management Systems (PSMS) and is often referenced by PHMSA in enforcement actions, encouraging a proactive, risk-based approach to safety.
This recommended practice drives demand for comprehensive PSMS solutions and associated training, directly benefiting EWN's PSMS and compliance management offerings.
